U.S. Peavey Club

Pics and you're in!

Here they are - yes, one of the Foundations is undressed. That one came to me with a serious layer of tobacco shmutz.

send me your check for $1000 to....

Sorry - spent it all on Peavey basses!
 
Nice collection! Can't wait to see what you do with that Foundation.

Me either - I'm avoiding the final sanding stage because I haven't decided what to do. It's a really pretty laminate on the top (which doesn't make sense for a painted body - it was white), but it doesn't get to the edges very well. I'm thinking a blue burst so the edges would be opaque (inspired by this Ibby: Ibanez PF Series Pf15ece-tbs Acoustic Guitar), or go more original with a white, or do something else that I haven't thought of yet.

Any suggestions would be welcome.
 
LOL - Did you tell your wife you were watching BASS porn ?

Those Peavey decals you so carefully cut out with an exacto on you pickups actually make the bass !!! I LOVE that !!! I may attempt to do the same - if I feel daring enough !
My missus knows I spend all day and half the night on TB loll
Yeah when I received the Dyna with the flat topped humbuckers the whole bass looked a little bare..the only branding was the tiny script-style printed on the headstock that denotes a Dyna Bass by Peavey in gold..but you had to squint to see it loll so I decided to make sure people at my gigs over 30 years or so knew it was a Peavey bass guitar lol The logos I cut out weren't perfect but they did the job...Nobody mistook the bass for anything but a Peavey lol

You're in! Lovely pair!
@JTbass44 you are member #427
Welcome to the club!!!
My first bass was a Foundation S that was purchased new in 1990 (or 1991 - can't remember exact date). Sorry for the shirt-less photo, but it's the only one I have of that old bass (I was probably 20yrs old here). Wishing that I never got rid of it now!

That looks to be a little older, probably an 88 or 89. Nice bass in fact I think there is one like it on Reverb right now.

I bought an 86 Peavey Foundation S new and I still have mine. And it still comes out on gigs pretty regularly too.
 
Man, that fretboard looks like chocolate and coffee. Really beautiful bass you have there.

I really need to get busy about posting some gear to sale in the classified section. I have another Peavey and G&L high on my list that I wanna acquire and then I'm done for a good long while.

Here is the GV I picked up here on the classifieds as well. This thing is punchy, sharp, and solid. Much thanks to MadAnthony who sold it to me. I also have two T-Series in my collection as well.

Man I’m digging that Marshall head you have in that pic. I played through one at a shop in the mid 90’s and it was the biggest, ballsiest tone I’ve ever heard. Made an Ampeg sound like tin in comparison.
